Veronika and Vladyslav win Holland’s Got Talent: “What money? There’s a prize?”
Since their appearance on the show, people recognize them on the street, and messages of support continue to pour in. This makes them even more excited for the upcoming tour of their first full-length production, “Vlad & Veronika: Revelation,” which begins in February 2026. The performance features two works — My Orpheus and Everglow, the latter inspired by their memories from the first months of the war. “It feels like reliving everything,” Veronika says. “It’s painful, but we want to be truthful.” Both dancers express deep gratitude to the Netherlands, where they found safety, opportunities, and a community that embraced them. “We want to give something back,” Vlad says. They also feel a responsibility: to share Ukrainian culture and remind audiences of what continues to happen in their homeland. Revelation will tour throughout the Netherlands from February 19 to November 27, 2026, inviting audiences into a world where dance, resilience, and personal history meet.
Winning Holland’s Got Talent still feels unreal for Ukrainian dancers Veronika Rakitina and Vladyslav Detiuchenko. When the hosts announced their victory and the €50,000 prize, the couple could hardly believe it — they had never even considered the possibility of winning. “What money? There’s a prize?” Veronika joked, remembering the first time the production team asked about their plans. Since fleeing Kyiv and rebuilding their lives in The Hague, their focus had always been on survival, creation, and staying connected to home. With the prize money, they dream of a beautiful wedding, yet they remain cautious: as refugees, they cannot spend everything on celebration. They also hope to invest in their foundation n’Era and future dance projects that preserve and promote Ukrainian culture. Their journey on the show was deeply emotional — two minutes on stage to show not a story, but their feelings. The spectacular final salto amazed viewers, but for them the most intimate moment was their first kiss on stage, shared openly and honestly in front of millions.
